BMLH to Host Tag Sale and Electronic Recycling Day Oct. 17

WARE — Recent building renovations and office upgrades at Baystate Mary Lane Hospital have resulted in a quantity of used chairs, tables, desks, file cabinets, and other office equipment. As a result, a tag sale will be held on Friday, Oct. 17, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot near the back of the Medical Office Building, off Marjorie Street.

“Our tag sale is a way of recycling items that we are no longer planning to use,” said Lisa Beaudry, director of Patient Care Services. “Recycling conserves resources and helps to prevent pollution. Baystate Health is already recycling as much material produced at its facilities as it safely can.”

Combined with the tag sale, the hospital will also sponsor a community-wide recycling event. Old and/or non-working electrical devices such as radios, air-conditioning units, toasters, phones, light fixtures, etc. will be collected at no cost, with the exception of TVs and CRTs, for which there will be an $8 fee. The community recycling event will also take place in the parking lot near the back of the Medical Office Building. All items collected will be trucked away to a recycling center shortly after the event.

The tag sale and recycling event will be held rain or shine. All proceeds will benefit community-benefit programs sponsored by the hospital. For more information, contact Ryan Moore, manager of Engineering, at (413) 967-2140.
